Ah, one more thing. After re-reading your message, are you telling us that you
can't get it to work after Dos-2-Dos, or that D2D is the only way you can get
it to work?

If you are trying to copy an ASCII file through Dos-2-Dos you need to append 
a -A to the command, such as:

Dos-2-Dos> copy file to df0:file -A

if it's a binary file the -A should not be there.

The files from comp.binaries.amiga are ASCII until after you run them thru
uudecode, which turns them back into BINARY.
